WELCOME
HI! I'M LESLIE MATTSON. I'VE BEEN MANAGING SURGERY CENTERS FOR OVER 20 YEARS.
I STARTED AS A PRN PACU NURSE, BECAME A RISK MANAGER, THEN QUALITY COORDINATOR. WANTING TO LEARN BEHIND THE RED LINE, I WAS TRAINED TO CIRCULATE. I WAS PROMOTED TO A NURSE MANAGER, THEN AN ADMINISTRATOR, THEN A DIRECTOR OF A MANAGEMENT COMPANY.
I STARTED THE BLOG IN 2014 TO SHARE SOME OF MY EXPERIENCES AND TO HELP OTHER SURGICAL LEADERS LIKE ME, HAVING FELT FRUSTRATED WITH FINDING INFORMATION AND RESOURCES.
TWO YEARS AGO, I LEFT SURGICAL OPERATIONS AND OPENED MY OWN BUSINESS, ALM SURGICAL SOLUTIONS, WHERE I GET TO HELP BUILD AND SUPPORT SURGICAL FACILITIES IN MANY AREAS OF MANY SPECIALTIES.
I'M SO HAPPY YOU STOPPED BY!
